PER CURIAM:
Drue Chichi Wallace appeals the district court’s order dismissing her action alleging
discrimination in violation of Title II of the Civil Right Act, 42 U.S.C. § 2000a, civil
conspiracy in violation of 42 U.S.C. § 1985, and several related causes of action under state
law for failure to state a claim. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error.
Wallace claimed that her removal from county fairgrounds for possession of alcohol was,
in fact, based on her religion. However, she does not assert that the responsible officials
knew of her religious faith, so she has not established that her removal was a pretext for
discrimination. Moreover, she contends that several of the Defendants conspired to have
her removed, but again, she failed to assert that they knew of her religion. In short, she
alleged no facts from which a discriminatory purpose could be inferred. Accordingly, we
affirm the district court’s order. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and
legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before this court and argument
would not aid the decisional process.
AFFIRMED
